She was born October 2, 1930, in Muncie, the daughter of Carl and Dorothy (Thomas) Mangus. On April 11, 1949, she married Carl Dickerson and together they have shared sixty-four years of matrimony. Patsy truly loved life and touched many with her kind heart and sweet disposition. She was very talented in music and the arts, and her creative side drew her to painting and jewelry making. She also served as a board member for her neighborhood association. As far as her family is concerned, her greatest achievement was raising her children and grandchildren in a loving environment.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her step-mother, Bertha Mangus; and one sister, Eleanor Chambers.

Private family services will be held and Elm Ridge Funeral home is in charge of arrangements.

The family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to the staff at Elmcroft Senior Living Alzheimer's Unit for all the loving care they gave to Patsy.

Memorial Contributions can be directed to the Elmcroft Senior Living Alzheimer's Unit, 1601 N. Morrison Rd., Muncie, IN 47304, or to the Alzheimer's Association, 50 E. 91st St. #100, Indianapolis, IN 46240.
